Game Notes

• Jackson State wrapped up an eight-game road swing in Starkville last Tuesday against Mississippi State. The road swing has covered a 6,932 round trip. 
• Omar Johnson coached for USA Baseball in the 2025 Collegiate National Team Training Camp. The staff was split into two teams – Stars and Stripes – for its annual Stars vs. Stripes series, which was held June 29 to July 3 at various locations across North Carolina. Following Training Camp, which featured 56 of the premier non-draft-eligible collegiate players in the country, the Stars staff led Team USA at the 45th USA vs. Japan Collegiate All-Star Championship Series from July 8-13 at various venues across Japan. The Stripes staff guided select players on a Collegiate National Team Prospects squad in a Fourth of July match-up with the Appalachian League Select Team in Kannapolis, North Carolina.
• Junior Diego Melendez is one of 100 shortstops featured on the 2026 watch list for the Brooks Wallace Award, which was released Wednesday by the College Baseball Foundation. The award honors the  nation's top shortstop and will be presented by the College Baseball Foundation later this year. It is named for former Texas Tech shortstop Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977 to 1980. Wallace died of leukemia at the age of 27. The top 100 shortstops in the country are led by several players putting up tremendous offensive numbers. But because the award is reflective of more than just offense, there are numerous players putting up solid defensive numbers as well.
• Omar Johnson reached 600 career victories when Jackson State defeated Mississippi Valley State. He now stands at 605 victories at Jackson State, trailing on Robert "Bob" Braddy who finished his career with 823 wins.
• Jackson State has a pair of players who transferred in from New Orleans this season in Jayden Lopez and Payton Chace Boines. Lopez is off to a 3-1 start for the Tigers, winning Sunday's series finale against Prairie View A&M, while Boines is hitting .349 on the season.
• These two teams have met once this season with New Orleans coming away with an 11-6 victory back on March 3 in New Orleans.
